Last year King Khan And The Shrines released the album Idle No More via Merge. Today they’ve premiere the video for the single, Born to Die. The clip is set in a kind of space-time continuum where Louis XIV nonchalantly orders modern capital punishment while enjoying a petite French mistress on the side. Needless to say, this isn’t the most happy of videos. But hope lies in the spiritual leaders performing rituals aiming to reverse the injustice. King Khan and the Shrines will also be taking on a massive, worldwide tour in the coming months, so check out tour dates and the video below.
